Science of Ayurveda is based on
5 universal elements (panchamahabhutas) : Space/Ether

Ayurveda combines these 5 elements (in various proportions) into 3 basic groups, known as “tri-doshas“. These are called Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

The Cause of PMS (Pre&Postmenstrual Symptom)
No More PMS: An Ayurvedic Approach to a Healthy Cycle
• According to Ayurveda, the above symptoms are caused due to the imbalance of one or more of the 3 doshas: Vata, Pitta & Kapha, in one’s system.
• For example: Apana Vayu (one type of air which is located in the lower abdomen and the pelvic region) is responsible for commencing and regulating the menstrual flow.
• When the flow of Apana Vayu becomes weak/slow, it can cause difficulty in releasing the menstrual flow, which can cause cramps in the lower abdomen and stiffness in the lower back.

Ayurvedic healing is an integral part of the overall process to bring a person back into balance on all levels.
Every individual has over 7 million energy channels running through the body.
Additionally, every individual has 7 main energy centres, called chakras, within one’s system.
For achieving & maintaining optimum health, energy has to flow smoothly & consistently within/through these channels & chakras, especially the 3rd chakra (navel centre).
Ayurvedic Healing helps to remove blockages from the channels and ensures the smooth flow of energy.
